If all he ever contributes are these "OT" postings, then his posts are going
to be dumped in the kill-file.

No offence to him or anything, I'm sure what he posts is interesting to
some; I'd just prefer to view the on topic stuff myself... And don't bother
to write suggesting I filter out the "OT", as OE is "stupid", and will
filter out anything that contains those two characters in that series, so
it's not an option...

I kill filed him the first day on the group when I saw hundreds of
nonsense posts, right after subscribing to the newsgroup. With him and
a few others kill filed, I see a couple hundred headers to download when
I open this newsgroup and well over half disappear into the filters.
Sometimes over 80% of the messages are trapped, leaving only a few on
topic messages, and replies to those in the filters.

No! He does not! If you kill file David, Honus, and mII, the group
looks pretty good.

Too easy, so I'll pass. But thanks for thinking of me.

Just your garden variety troll. The newsgroups are full of others just
like him.

For me today 131 killed and 44 unread so out of 175 posts that 25% to
read and 75% killed right off. That's not the whole story as there are
still off topic posts in the 44 unread group. Pretty poor result.

Its still a lot easier than trying to wade through all the other
